Share your first works)) I just had a problem with body formation because I didn't understand and couldn't make a good dense frame. In the end, the guinea pig came out as a stuffed animal. I'll try again))

If it's not difficult, share helpful tips 😊

Nature always reclaims what is hers 🌿💀

This was such delicate, meticulous work with a tiny sparrow skull. But I’m really happy with how it turned out. It feels as if nature is growing right through the fractured skull — a small reminder that time always reclaims everything.

​What do you think of this combination?

​I listened to your advice! 🌿

In my previous post, so many of you recommended pairing the sparrow wing with this green eye, and you were 100% right!

​I also swapped out the amethyst for a natural green aventurine to complete the look. The way the green tones pull everything together feels so organic and cohesive now. What do you think of the final result?

​P.S. I saved the blue eye for a black swift wing piece I’m working on next. I’ll definitely share it with you once it’s finished! ✨

When your boss completely understands your hyperfixation on Sam Winchester...

He surprised me with a Sam Winchester body pillow! Now I can officially sleep alongside the giant moose himself. Best boss award goes to him for sure 😅❤️

Blue or Green? Help me decide which glass eye suits this real sparrow wing brooch best! 👁️🪶

I’m working on a new brooch made with an ethically sourced real sparrow wing, but I completely fell in love with both of these glass eye cabochons and can't choose!

​Option 1: The deep blue eye (currently paired with a raw amethyst dangle).

​Option 2: The hazel/greenish eye.

​Should I go with one, or just make two separate brooches and swap the amethyst for a crystal that matches the eye colors better (like lapis lazuli for the blue, or citrine for the green)?

​I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions! ✨

I made earrings out of bone and copper. And I kind of like the way the copper looks, and there's something missing..

Absolutely in love with my new altar chalices made of rare white onyx 🕊️✨

​I wanted to share this beautiful pair of chalices with you all! They are carved from white onyx, and I honestly can’t stop staring at the natural patterns. ​I’ve heard that white onyx is amazing for amplifying lunar energy, clearing negative vibrations, and helping with focus during rituals. ​For those who incorporate crystals into their practice, how do you like to use onyx? Would love to hear your ideas! 🌙🔮

Upgraded these cruelty-free rat paw earrings with new crystal stud findings! ✨ How do they look compared to the original?

I wanted to add some sparkle and contrast to the natural texture of the paws, so I switched to these botanical-style rhinestone studs [Photo 1]. Now they catch the light beautifully! For comparison, the original vintage-vibe leverbacks are in [Photo 2].

​Which hardware style fits the paws better in your opinion?

Pendant made from dry shed snake skin (yes, I make jewelry from more than just paws 😅)

This is a cruelty-free piece made from naturally shed skin. I've only made it in a mini size for now, but I'm planning to create a much larger version very soon!

I finished preparing the bones and went through the pheasant feathers at the same time

I'll save the rest for the weekend or continue after work.

Not sure how many people were waiting for an update on my jewelry, BUT here are my earrings made from front rat paws 🫶

They are completely dry and treated, so there's zero chance of any parasites. Very lightweight. All findings are stainless steel and brass, so nothing will tarnish (but taking a shower with them is strictly forbidden!).

Crow's paw and rock crystal 😍

I can't decide whether to do it on a stainless steel thread or chain. What do you think would be aesthetically pleasing?

Comparing my snake's first shed skin to his latest for a jewelry piece. My boy has grown so much 🥹❤️

Doing some prep work for my upcoming jewelry project and decided to compare his first shed skin with the most recent one. It's crazy to see the progress. Does anyone else use snake sheds in their art? Would love to show you the finished piece later!

A custom pendant using my snake's shed!

I gathered everything after the last molt and had a sudden burst of inspiration. Finished it today—the epoxy resin makes it super durable.

What’s your take on this pendant? I’m genuinely curious to see your own projects! There’s something so special about pieces made by hand. Share your work with me!

I fell in love my jewelry. Is that the way you do it too? 😅

This is my first job. She reeks of some Victorian style to me. The idea of design came to me in the process. It was as if the hands knew what to do and did.
